'''Negro''' is an obsolete a term for a person of black African ancestry or racial characteristicsthat has now become obsolete due to [[politically correct]] restrictions imposed by [[leftist]]s on the [[United States of America|American]] public in order to restrict debate and silence opposition. Through Up until the middle latter quarter of the 20th century, it was a commonly used in the United States, and was generally considered a well-intentioned and polite , termin the United States. As an For example of this, it was used 15 times in [[Martin Luther King ]] Jr.'s used the word 15 times in his [[I Have a Dream]] speech. But during and it is still used by the Civil Rights movement of the 1960's well-respected and long-standing organizations—the United Negro College Fund. The term fell out of favor, and has generally been replaced by "black person" or "African-AmericanNegro Spiritual"is also still used for a musical style that devolped amongst negro servants.
The reasons for this change are a bit subtleterm fell out of favor during the [[leftist]] [[Civil Rights movement]] of the 1960's, and because of [[liberal censorship]] has now generally been replaced by "black person" or "African-American". The point is [[Liberal logic]] points out that "negro" is a noun, whereas "black" is an adjective, used with the noun "person".

The names of the nations of [[Nigeria ]] and [[Niger ]] are both widely assumed to come from this root, but the etymology is somewhat obscure.
This word is not to be confused with the deliberate mispronunciation that has historically been used in an explicitly racist and hateful way. That word is simply unacceptable in modern society, and, when it must be described, is referred to as the "N word".
Although the term "negro" is obsolete in modern society, it, and the similar The term "colored person" has also been subject to [[liberal censorship]] but is nevertheless still appear in the names of two well-respected and long-standing organizations—the United Negro College Fund and used by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The term "Negro Spiritual" is also still used for a musical style that grew out of American slave society.
